Seems its true...

I always thought it was a myth when people told me that the older you grow the more conservative you become. Because in my case I didn't see that-if anything am becoming more open-minded. But this Friday I faced something that bought my conservative side out.
I went to Nai-I have never been on Friday-and found to my shock and horror that it was kids night.
OK before going further...I would like to point out that I am 28 so when I say kids I mean no insult just telling you what I thought...no comments please stating how I have insulted the entire youth population of Amman!!!!
So I was looking around and pretty much everyone there was in their late teens early twenties. Some just getting back from their first couple of months at university, others just in their final year at high school. So in other words, a completely different generation me.
There were a few things I noticed,

1. They pretty much ALL smoked and drank-but for me for some reason them smoking seemed worse then them drinking...even though I do BOTH!!! But to be fair I only started smoking when I was 21 (not that makes it any healthier or better.)
2. Also the ratio of men to women was unbelievable, for every male there were at least-AT LEAST-4 women.
3. The kind of clothes that these girls were wearing was well impressive to say the least!!!!showing cleavage, tightness...

So the point of this, wallah not sure, but I was shocked I am quite sure that I was not like that when I came back the first time from uni. I wanted to go rip the ciggies of their mouths, empty out their drinks and yell "GO HOME...read Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys!!!!"

OK I am spicing up the story-it was not that bad, and most importantly they seemed like they were having a great time-which is really the whole point of life. But I was shocked with my reaction, I guess we do become like our parents when we grow up...

The best thing about that night was watching all of them test their new personalities on their old friends. You could see them tweaking it and reworking it, and that was just quite entertaining, and I remember exactly what that was like. Seeing if the "New You" being formed would fit with the friends that you have grown up with and love dearly.
